Security review #005 identified critical vulnerabilities in the Unix domain socket admin API (C1 symlink race, C2 no auth, C3 info leak, W1-W7, S1-S6). ADR-028 (already accepted) replaces the socket with an authenticated HTTP admin API on the health check port. This commit adds the remaining spec work: - ADR-029: Config file TOCTOU mitigation (mtime check on reload) - ADR-030: Store cli_allow_wildcard_bind in ConfigReloadHandle for consistent reload validation - Implementation tasks for the admin HTTP migration (fix/admin-http-api), TOCTOU fix (fix/config-reload-toctou), and wildcard flag fix (fix/wildcard-flag-reload) - Updated review #005 status to resolved with per-finding disposition - Resolved OQ-16: POST for state-changing admin endpoints, GET for read-only - Updated all architecture docs to reference new ADRs, use admin_key_path instead of admin_socket_path, and reflect POST method for /admin/reload

## Description
|
|
|
|
Both the SIGHUP reload path (`src/shutdown.rs:handle_sighup_reload`) and the
|
|
admin HTTP reload path (`src/admin/socket.rs:handle_reload`, soon
|
|
`src/admin/handler.rs`) read the config file from disk with
|
|
`tokio::fs::read_to_string()`, then parse and apply it. If another process is
|
|
writing to the config file at the same time, the proxy could read a partially
|
|
written config.
|
|
|
|
ADR-029 specifies a simple mitigation: compare file modification timestamps
|
|
before and after reading. If mtime changed, reject the reload and return a
|
|
"please retry" message.
|
|
|
|
### Changes Required
|
|
|
|
**Shared reload function** — Extract the common file-read-and-validate logic
|
|
from `src/shutdown.rs:handle_sighup_reload()` and
|
|
`src/admin/socket.rs:handle_reload()` into a shared function (e.g.,
|
|
`src/config/dynamic_config.rs` or a new `src/config/reload.rs`):
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub async fn read_and_validate_config(
|
|
config_path: &str,
|
|
cli_allow_wildcard_bind: bool,
|
|
) -> Result<(StaticConfig, DynamicConfig), ReloadError> {
|
|
let metadata_before = tokio::fs::metadata(config_path).await
|
|
.map_err(ReloadError::Io)?;
|
|
let config_content = tokio::fs::read_to_string(config_path).await
|
|
.map_err(ReloadError::Io)?;
|
|
let metadata_after = tokio::fs::metadata(config_path).await
|
|
.map_err(ReloadError::Io)?;
|
|
|
|
if metadata_before.modified().ok() != metadata_after.modified().ok() {
|
|
return Err(ReloadError::FileChangedDuringRead);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
let full_config = FullConfig::parse(&config_content)?;
|
|
let (new_static, new_dynamic) = full_config.into_static_and_dynamic();
|
|
validate(&new_static, &new_dynamic, cli_allow_wildcard_bind)?;
|
|
|
|
Ok((new_static, new_dynamic))
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**`src/shutdown.rs`** — Replace inline file read + parse + validate with a
|
|
call to `read_and_validate_config()`. On `ReloadError::FileChangedDuringRead`,
|
|
log a warning: "config file changed during read, please retry SIGHUP".
|
|
|
|
**`src/admin/handler.rs`** (after admin-http-api task) — Same call. On
|
|
`ReloadError::FileChangedDuringRead`, return
|
|
`{"status": "error", "message": "config file changed during read, please retry"}`.
|
|
|
|
**Error type** — Define `ReloadError` enum with variants:
|
|
- `Io(std::io::Error)`
|
|
- `Parse(toml::de::Error)`
|
|
- `Validation(String)`
|
|
- `FileChangedDuringRead`
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance Criteria
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Both SIGHUP and admin HTTP reload paths use the same file-reading logic
|
|
- [ ] mtime is checked before and after reading the config file
|
|
- [ ] If mtime changed, reload is rejected with a clear error message
|
|
- [ ] Error message in admin HTTP response is generic ("config file changed
|
|
during read, please retry") — no filesystem paths leaked
|
|
- [ ] Full error details are logged server-side (path, mtime values)
|
|
- [ ] SIGHUP path logs the same error at warn level
|
|
- [ ] `cargo test` passes
|
|
- [ ] `cargo clippy` passes with no warnings
|

## Notes
|
|
|
|
> This fix is independent of the admin socket → HTTP migration. It applies to
|
|
> both reload paths (SIGHUP and admin). The implementation should be done
|
|
> after or alongside the admin-http-api task since that task replaces
|
|
> socket.rs with handler.rs.
